Watch the UK Trailer for The Double, Starring Jesse Eisenberg

A UK trailer for Richard Ayoade’s The Double is now online and viewable in the player below. It stars Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Batman vs. Superman) (in a dual role) and Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre, Alice in Wonderland).

Loosely based on the novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Double follows Simon (Eisenberg), a timid, isolated man whos overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams (Wasikowska). The arrival of a new co-worker, James (also played by Eisenberg), serves to upset the balance. James is both Simon’s exact physical double and his opposite – confident, charismatic and good with women. To Simon’s horror, James slowly starts taking over his life.
